New RX-7 for 2017
2017 Mazda RX-7 will be based on extended version of MX-5 chassis to allow for small back seats(likely not usable). 300HP Rotary engine Non turbo . But they said they might provide a turbo version later on. Priced around $30,000 to compete with Nissan 370z. I have always been a fan of the FC and FD RX-7. I hope all these sources are true: GoAUTO TopSpeed MotorReport etc.

No pics. I think pics will come out end of 2014 since the ND Mazda MX-5 comes out in late 2014 as a 2015 model and the RX-7 will be based on that car. A month ago, the Mazda guys were excited about an MX-5 2+2 coupe to compete with FR-S/BRZ/Genesis Coupe 2.0T, but then they just announced that it will be an RX-7, not an MX-5 coupe.

Official statement was given my Mazda's VP. He pretty much told everyone the plan for the next 4 years. Details about the new Mazda 2 release date, the Smaller CX-3 SUV they are developing based on the Mazda 2, the redesigned CX9. The new Mazda 3 release date, etc.

Too bad it's going to be butt-fugly like most year 2000+ cars.

Agreed, how is it a car from 1993 was gorgeous and they can't find a way to keep that look today?

I hope it will look good. Just reading that it will be based on the MX-5 made me happy since the MX-5 chassis is lightweight, rigid, and could handle lots of power.

There's a few cars I can think of that buck that trend... Though Like motorcycles I feel like automakers are going more blocky/square with there styling. I agree, 2017 is a long ass way away...Call me when theres an actual physical car to look at.
